Storm-Chaser

I was on the fence about that but makes perfect sense now to move them both to the fast leaderboard. And I'm with you on the gaming thing, 8 cores for gaming is still way overkill, just to add my 2C. My hexacore Phenom II 970 (oem processor, rare) X6 rig acted as my primary rig until 2016. Very snappy platform with low latency if you have the memory dialed in correctly. And IMC to 3121MHz

Adding this now....

Today's leaderboard update for the fast rigs... And now the slo mo rig update...

That's much better. I told you guys I knew what I was doing

SLO MO leaderboard is up! You can also go back to the original post to get the latest leaderboard revisions as well.... If you see any errors here let me know but I think I got all the slow systems after scanning through each page of the competition.

What can be worst than last place on the slo mo leaderboard? I probably shouldnt post this because it actually is somewhat a decent processor still. However, I have throttlestop to slow it down lots more if needed Just watch the transformation, I know exactly what I'm doing

Yes that cooling system was roughly based on this engine design, just for fun, but it also performs pretty well in it's present form (I've gone 5822Mhz validations with my 9600KF with this system w/ chiller attached)

I think we would have to come up with a new word for the English language because ludicrous isn't going to cut it.

Very nice. Can you please include a snip of the first CPUz tab as well, that shows all your CPU specs? Thank you. Then I can get you added tomorrow.

For my current liquid cooled rig (9600KF) I found that building in a tool-less design with the radiators themselves can be helpful when you have to constantly go back into the loop to perform maintenance or upgrades / modifications, etc. I have about 1000mm of standard radiator cooling in this rig (plus a 60 plate liquid to liquid heat exchanger for the chiller), which is plenty for a hexacore like this, but for benching, especially cold weather stuff, I like the ease of use to disassemble / assemble the cooling system.. it's always a whole lot easier if you can set the other radiators out of the way for a minute. . This is because all the radiators are tension fit and can be pulled completely out of the case before you have to disconnect them. Now it's not earthquake rated but it could probably fair better than the Fukushima Daichi nuclear power plant did! Point being I can remove the radiators from the case itself, the rads I want to work on easily, tilt the case on it's side and then even if I spill something it's not going to leak on the motherboard. I left the lines long enough to do this, and while it's still a PITA and can lead to a mess on occasion, it's much better than having all your rads bolted into place, because then you are at the mercy of their location within the case and whether you are feeling lucky that day. I also use a small vice grip to eliminate or mitigate the leak once I disconnect a line. Anyway, just thought I would share want's been working out ok for me so far. here is a picture and you can see both the 360mm on the bottom and the 240mm above it both have a tension fit, making it very easy to work on the cooling system itself by removing the rad from the rig before disconnecting the lines. You think 3 pumps and two reservoirs here is a little overkill? lol you can never have enough flow! All the radiators come out of the rig in less than one minute.

I really did laugh out loud at your previous reply. I still see a sort issue with submissions 10-11 on the excel spreadsheet leaderboard. I will get that sorted out tomorrow. Pun intended. I have some excellent screenshots of some of my old hardware running this test. Problem is my old NAS power supply is toast, and since it's in a raid 1 I cant just swap the HD over to my PC and read it. I take it tictoc's 3960X would be at the front of the line if it were not for the bug / limited CPU usage thing that he mentioned?!

I will get the slo mo leaderboard up tomorrow

fixed

Yeah that KF thing seems to have resurfaced because I used the same template as the last benchmark comp. So long as you keep me in line we will stay on the right track. or hope to at least. lol digging through my old hard drives to see if I can find a screenshot of my Phenom II hexacore running through this.

You running a chiller or liquid nitrogen? That score especially multi-core is incredible!

Go for it! Leaderboard updated... I just noticed the ranking is off i will fix that next revision.

On paper I think they appeared to be a little bit quicker. But as you know, when you crank that Phenom II IMC to 3000 with low CL 1600 memory the system gets really snappy, more so than anything you can do with an FX chip, which can only go about 2600MHz reliably on air. But I'm with you bro. Go oldschool or go home! I had an AMD Phenom II 970, OEM Zosma core. Which actually comes with two disabled cores. Great cost/performance ratio, especially if you can successfully unlock both disabled cores. That turns it into AMDs fastest base clock hexacore of the entire lineup (iirc 1100T has 3.4 base and 3.7 boost...) Anyway, I'm rambling but in all seriousness the Phenom II is my favorite processor by far. This was my 24/7 OC

Thanks for the interest so far guys!! I will update the leaderboard tomorrow after I return home.

lol determined to have last place! a few people showed interest so I just threw out the suggestion, that way you can bench all your computers here not just the latest generation stuff. It's fun to sometimes go back and take a look at what once was and it's not that much extra work for me.

Other Z820 with two 12 core 2696 v2 CPUs... 64GB octal channel memory

Leaderboard Updated.

Oh its on. My HP laptop from a decade ago is going to be hard to beat. It takes almost 5 minutes just to boot windows! And that's a fresh install lol

If you guys want we can have a category for the slow rigs 2 (aka red lantern) lol believe it or not wouldn't be the first time I've done that. First z820 w/ 2 Xeon E5-2673 v2 processors with the coveted 4GHz single core turbo. rare CPU. 16 cores 32 threads total

Best result so far with the 9600KF. 5 below zero run.

No its just those components are slightly hidden in the first picture. Here is a shot from above:
